Academic medical centers face shrinking profits - what to do?

1. Build a brand name by holding faculty accountable for cost and quality. Mayo Clinic has mastered that and they offer a "subscription service" allowing local hospitals to gain quick access to Mayo experts - and to advertise that in the local press.

2. Become part of a larger community network. This is part of the "spokes of a wheel" concept to generate referrals to the tertiary center from the peripheral clinics and hospitals.
